In today’s list, we would like to show you some hair care tips for different hair type and texture. Keep reading to find out!

1. Fine, Thin, or Oily Hair

Wash your hair every day or every other day. Everyone’s scalp produces oil, but those oils (sebum) travel more quickly down the hair shaft when you have fine or thin hair. Thus, giving it that unattractive, greasy appearance. If you have oily scalp but don’t want to shampoo daily, use an anti-dandruff shampoo, even if you don’t have flakes. Anti-dandruff shampoos cut down on grease, and less grease means fewer washes if you’re not keen on washing your hair every single day.

2. Medium or Dry Hair

Wash your hair every 2 – 3 days. Any more than that and you could strip your hair of the natural oils that keep it looking shiny and healthy. Sebum provides strength and smoothness to the hair, making dry hair less prone to breakage. If you don’t want to go that long without a wash, try a sulfate-free shampoo, which is gentler on your hair. You can also simply give your hair a quick rinse with water and apply conditioner to the ends.

3. Thick or curly hair

Wash your hair once or twice PER week. The oils your scalp produces will take longer to travel down the super-thick or tightly coiled hair. So oiliness won’t be as noticeable. Besides, those extra oils can help calm frizz and give coarse hair a smoother look. But don’t go too long between washes since too much oil can be just as bad as not enough. Excess oil can clog up the hair follicles, making the scalp more prone to infections.

4. Bonus tip

If you work out regularly or sweat a lot in general, you may want to wash your hair more often, regardless of texture. The same goes for people who use lots of products or live in a highly polluted area. On the flip side, dry shampoo is also a good alternative if you want to extend your no-wash period an extra day or two. Make sure you apply it to the roots so it can soak up the extra oil, and steer clear of the ends.
